Associated Press Dispatches to the Herald. /
BERLIN, August 6.-The interviews
between the Emperors William and
Francis Joseph at Gastein are de-
prived of much significance by tAe
absence Of the guiding statesmen of
imperial politics. The Emperors will
exchange views ON the present posi-
ton of the Austro-G German alliance,
but the main objects of the conference
will be the candidature of Prince Fer
dinand to the throne OF Bulgaria and
the impending deposition of the in
sane King of Bavaria.
EMPEROR WILLIAMS CONDITION.
The medical attendants of Emperor
William say his condition is improv-
ing hourly since his arrival at Gastein.
UNIMPRovED RELATIONS.
The relations of Germany with Rus
sia do not improve. The press of
Moscow and st. Petersburg make the
death of Katkoff the occasion of fresh
hatred toward Germany and the Bit
terness of feeling toward Germany is
aggravated under fresh instances of
German "baiting."
woRKMEN's TROUBLES.
The latest case is exciting much an
ger. This was the closing OF a factory
for the manufacture of German TOYS
belonging to Weirsboch Bros. and sit
uated at Embermein, in the depart
ment of the Moselle. The workmen
were given but three days notice of
expulsion.
CAUSE OF BIsMARCK's DELAY.
1t is reported that the delay in
Bismarck's departure for Kissingen is
due solely to the gravity of the situa-
ton with France. The chancellor is
making the Wearbach affairs the sub
ject of diplomatic communication tend
ing to bring French provocations to u
critical stage.
THE BAvAR1AN THRONE.
An amendment to the constitution
involving the question of deposing the
king on the ground of incurable in
sanity will be submitted to the Bava-
rian diet in September.
HOLLANDS RULER.
1t is untrue that the ex-Grand Duke
of Hesse will be candidate for the
throne of Holland on the death Of the.
king, as in such an event the queen
would become regent for her daughter
the Princes Wilhelmie, and should
the latter die, the crown would pass to
the Grand Duchess OF Saxe-Weimar-
Eisenbach.
BERNHARD's CASE.
Mr.. Pendleton, United States Min
ister, has obtained recognition of the
rights as an American citizen of AL
bert Bernhard, who was recently
and imprisoned at Mulhouse
as a member of the French Patriotic
League. Bernhard is now pressing
suit for compensation for business
losses sustained through his arrest
He is native of Mulhouse but went

DYNAMITER MOONEY.
His Record Furnished by the
London Police.

LONDON, August 6.-The police here
claim that Mooney, who attempted to
destroy the British steamer Queen, at
New York, is well known to them.
According to their story Mooney was
formerly known as Moorhead. He
caused an explosion at the Glasgow
gas works in 1882, when several Of his
accomplices were imprisoned, and he
was also concerned in the explosions
at the local Government and Times Of
fees. Mooney then escaped to Amer
lea, and subsequently attempted to
blow up the parliament buildings at
Ottawa with dynamite. For this pur-
pose he made use OF funds which had
been supplied to him by O'Donovan
Rossa to be used in England. Mooney
then got into hot water with the Cana
dian Fenians, and recently he has ex-
perimented with dynamite in New
York, and the blowing up the Andre
statue. the police assert, was Moneys
work.

A FEW POINTERS.
To People About to Purchase
Pianos and Organs.

Everyone who has ever attempted
to buy a piano is only too familiar
with the perplexities that must neces-
sarily be undergone. To say that
there is great rivalry in the piano
business would be to but half express
the state of affairs. Some unscrupul-
GUS dealers make point to run down
all the pianos on the market except
the ones for which they have the ex-
elusive agency. Others who have
good pianos at first ask fabulous prices
for them and then drop down to what
the purchaser thinks is very small
cash margin, when as a fact they
realize almost so per cent. on their
wares. Then again, it is hard to get
an honest opinion of the merits of a
piano from professional pianist, for
they have some pet piano, from the
agent of which they receive large
commission for talking it up or placing
it in family. These perplexities are
disagreeable for the purchaser, to say
the least, and when he has gone the
rounds he surely and invariably
wishes he had started right in the
first place. To do this intending pur-
chasers should always go to an estab-
lished and reliable house where they
can rest assured they will be honestly
dealt with. Such an establishment is
to be found in the piano and organ
house of j. w. Gardiner, at Nos. 21O
and 212 South Spring street. Mr.. Gard
iner's establishment is representative
and reliable house and Mr.. Gardiner
has long enjoyed the confidence of
the public, and his reputation is
guarantee that any one can safely do
business with him. His large store is
one of the finest piano and organ par
lors on the Pacific Coast. Mr.. Gardi-
ner does not believe in handling one
make of pianos but a variety from
which the public can make their own
selection. He has on hand and fur
nished in elegant style: Steinway,
Steck, Hardman, Knabe, Chickering,
Emerson, Arion and other pianos, also
Kimball, Packard, Story & Clark and
other organs.
Mr.. Gardiner believes in establish
ing business that Will advertise
itself. He sell his pianos as low as
honest business principles will per-
init. His prices are from 800 to $3.50
lower than agents prices, and on the
organs the reduction is about the same.
His instruments are all guaranteed to
have full, clear, rich sound, and
those who are about to make purchases
will benefit their own interests very
by calling at Mr.. Gardeners |
establishment and examining his large |
stock before purchasing elsewhere.

CHICAGO CORRUPTION.
Some Interesting Testimony by
Ex.Clerk Jones.

CHICAGO, August 6.-W. a. Jones,
formerly chief clerk at both the asylum
and infirmary, says that during the
three years he was in the county's
employ it never cost more than $l54,
600 year to run both asylum and in
firmary. Last year, under the man.
agement of the Doodle gang, it cost
over 5000, 900 to run the asylum alone.
MILK CONTRACTS.
The first crooked work Jones dis
covered was of milk contractor who
he discovered was delivering milk
that showed 60 per cent. OF water.
Jones refused to accept it and in few
days the management of that business
was taken out of his hands and there
after the swill milk was delivered to
the paupers and the cream kept for
the boodlers' table.
"coRNED" BEEF.
He says of the meat contracts that
in every load of meat sent out there
would be "corned" beef. This some
times consisted of pigs noses, shin
bones, scraps of mutton and other
meat which would spoil ON his hands.
DTsPosING OF THE DEAD.
He said that one undertaken who
was paid fair price for each separate
burial was in the habit of burying two
or three bodies in a box at time to
save material.
RESERVATIONS DEMANDED.
This afternoon States Attorney
Grinnell called up the motion for a
new trial for the convicted boodlers.
In doing so he stated that they had
not yet had the decency to hand in
their designations, and he demanded
that they do so at once. 1t seems that
the refusal of the boodlers to resign
may, under certain circumstances,
produce deadlock that will prevent
the levying of any taxes for the county.
The conviction of an infamous
crime makes vacant the Office
held by the criminal, but the law is so
framed that the Country Board must
declare that the vacancy exists, and
without the cooperation of the bood-
lers this can hardly be done. After
much discussion counsel for the de-
fense succeeded in getting matters de-
layed until Monday, with the under
that if the boodlers resign in
the meantime, the time of arguing the
motion for new trial would be put off
till September. The boodlers who
were merely fined withdrew their mo-
tons for new trial.
THE COMMISSIONERS ACCEDE.
This afternoon late Commissioner
Klehm, chairman of the County Board,
in the County Clerks office
and rendered his resignation. About
the same time Commissioner r. S.
sent for County Attorney
Bliss and Informed him that he would
not spend another dollar on defense.
~ will go into court" said he, "on
the first opportunity and ask that final
sentence be passed and that l be sent
to prison." He then handed Mr..
Bliss his resignation. This evening
Commissioners Casselman and Oliver
ilso removed all their property from
,he County Board room and announced
hat they would attend no more meet |
ngs as Commissioners.

The Rope was too Long.

A. Lehman, who keep an upholster-
ing store, 16l Upper Main street, and
who resides at II Jackson street, had
some trouble with his wife last even
ing. His feelings became so injured
that he connected his neck with a
beam in the wood shed by means of
an inch rope. His wife heard his
means and rushed out into the street
and yelled for help. Officer Rogers,
who was wearing out the pavement
about block distant, responded, and
severed the piece Of hemp. AS soon
as Lehman reached terra firma he said
that he was sorry for the act, and
promised that If in the future he
should have controversy with his
wife he will not suspend himself in the
air.

3. s. PALOS.
Not of Much Use il Called into an
Engagement.

WASHINGTON, August 6.-The Board
Of Repairs has recommended that the
iron hull steamer Palos, now on the
Asiatic station, be repaired and the
cost is estimated at $4,000 on the hull
and $40, 900 for new boilers and ma
chinery. The Secretary has endorsed
the recommendation, saying in effect
that the Palos is an iron tug of about
300 tons, twenty-three years old and
is in no respect a war vessel as the
term is now understood. Her cost in
1865 was $4,000 and she could be
built now for $50, 900, and the expen-
diture suggested would put her in
shape for about another year and
half. One good shot from a modern
gun would destroy the machinery OF
the Palos and end her career.
